to reserve a page in a special issue of that
paper. They duly forwarded the copy,
and instructed the proprietors to print the
advertisement in two colors. The can-
vasser subsequently called, and said he
could not accept the advertisement in two
colors. Story & Clark then cancelled the
order, but the proprietors took for copy an
advertisement in another paper, and in-
serted it. Story & Clark refused to pay,
were sued in the county court, and judg-

The business of Cunningham Bros., re-
cently purchased by G. W. Cunningham,
will be carried on under his own name at
Portland, Ind., as it was some twenty

wide-awake music trade man carrying an
excellent line of instruments, and his con-
tinued success is inevitable.

of Kranich & Bach, to Pittsfield, Mass., he
added to his reputation as a piscatorial ex-
pert through his large catch at Lake Mah-
keenac, when he was accompanied by Mr.

sic dealers of Pittsfield.
